22-YEAR-OLD RUNNING FOR MAYOR OF PHILADEHIA: "Well, the older candidates are acting like kids..."

Philadelphia, PA, Feb. 28th 12 P.M. - The dawning of a new age of Philadelphia Politics will dawn that morning as a young 22-year-old man get's ready to take the stand to run for mayor of Philadelphia! His reasoning? If the people running for office are acting more childish than him, why shouldn't someone who actually is mature run for office? The announcement is to be held at Independence Mall around 6th and Market St.

The main question being asked is what chance does someone so young have at running for office? “Michael Sessions of Hillsdale, Michigan, ran for Mayor in 2005 when he was only 18 and still in high school, and won! And he ran as a write-in!” says Larry West. “People did it because they were sick and tired of how things were being run in their city. So, yes, in honestly think I have a chance here.”

There will be signs and banners to indicate where the event is taking place, as well as a crowd of people. It will take place on the large grassy area next to the Constitution Center. "I picked Independence Mall because this is where the first revolution was held," said Larry West, "And this is where the second one will begin!"
